Wine Aerators: $336.9 Million Worth of Bullsh*t : Vinography

It's practically criminal that these plastic pieces of junk continue to be purchased. They prey on insecurity, are bad for the planet, and generally just suck.

@vinography What other gifts are wine b*llsh*t?

Can we start a list …

I nominate any of those wands/drops/etc. that claim to remove sulfites.

@thad_ccws oh yes. And wine chilling devices, most fancy decanters, the list goes on.
@vinography About decanters, had a customer on Wednesday purchase some #Bordeaux and was asking about decanting. They didn’t have a decanter and I told them to use anything they could find … big Mason Jar, juice carafe, water pitcher, whatever because using a fancy decanter was mostly for show. They asked if we were sure, I told them that we used a water pitcher almost every time we needed to decant something in the Shop (b/c most of the time, I’m decanting and pouring it back in the bottle, a pitcher w/ spout = easier pouring).
@thad_ccws YES!!!!!! This 10000% best decanter in the universe? The lemonade pitcher! Has a handle, easy to pour, you can get your arm in it to clean, and if you drop it on the floor, you can replace for $20!!!! Down with twisty-crystal scale models of the small intestine!
